Singapore, August 14-16, 2023

Since we had to travel via Singapore anyway on our way back home from Australia, it felt like a missed opportunity
if we did not stay in Singapore for a few nights to taste a little bit of the Oriental region. And so we did.
We stayed in Singapore from August 14-16, 2023. We booked 2 night flights in and out of the country,
so our limited 2 nights were actually 3 full days to spend. Just enough to get a first glimpse of the small country
and the birds that it had to offer.

Due to the limited time our observed species list is short, but because it was a new region most of the observed species
were new to us. It was hard work; the climate was hot and humid, glasses and binoculars steamed up continuously and
(except for a few species) the most birds were skulking or canopy dwelling.
